"Aren't you Katsuki Bakugos backup dancer?" The barista asked before I could even order. I sighed, this began to be a daily occurrence, and well I loved it at the beginning, getting called out at 7 in the morning while I'm still in my pajamas just to get coffee wasn't all that fun.

I quickly smiled and nodded, before looking up at the menu, trying to figure out what I wanted and what Izuku would probably like. He sent me in cause "he was more recognizable" and didn't want to get noticed in his pjs.

Well I guess we are pretty equal huh, Izuku?

"Can I get a picture!?" She smiled, holding her phone out before I could even answer and snapping a picture.

I swallowed a bit and looked down to her with a small smile, "I would have been happy to take a picture with you, but next time wait for an answer before just doing."

I walked out without even getting coffee, because some people really have too much comfort in others wants.

When I got in the car, Izuku's brows furrowed and looked to my empty hands.

He had snoopy pj pants and a white shirt on, contrasting my Spider-Man shirt and blue sweats. We looked like crazy people.

"The barista took a picture of me without asking, I got mad."

He chuckled, "Starbucks it is!"

He smiled and the driver drove off, on his way to Starbucks. We were in a security SUV. It was like the ones you see in spy movies.

Our show was tonight, and honestly, I was counting down minutes. I wanted to see Katsuki. I wanted to smell him, hear him, feel him.

I wanted to see how he would act towards me after our interaction the day prior. I wanted to see if we were closer.

"We are having dinner with the crew." Izuku smiled, and showed me a screenshot of a groupchat talking about meeting up with Sero, Mina, Kiri, Denki and Katsuki for dinner.

Katsuki was the one who asked Izuku if I would be coming with him, and I couldn't help but grin, but I quickly suppressed it.

"I thought they didn't follow Katsuki on tours?" I looked toward him, confused.

I get to see Katsuki. That's really all that went through my brain. I didn't really care why they were all in Georgia, or why they were having dinner. I cared that Katsuki would be there.

"They have been recently, not sure why. Anyways! Dinner is an hour before the show so..." he trailed off.

"So I have to have my makeup and hair done before." I sighed and looked out the window.

He nodded, "But it's a good thing! You look sexy in your makeup! Great for Kacchan and Sero!" He smiled he rubbed my shoulder a bit.

I chuckled and nodded, before taking a deep breath and figuring out what I would want from Starbucks.

   ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･.

After all day practice, a long shower, and my makeup and hair getting done, I was on my way to dinner, alone, in my warm up sweats that had Katsukis tour name all over them.

I bit my nails the whole way to the restaurant, thinking about what Kathy had told me 15 minutes prior while doing my makeup.

"You get to see Katsuki before the show, who knows, maybe your luck will lead to after as well."
She had a smug, knowing grin as she spoke.

As her words circled my head I couldn't help but smile down toward my hand. I pulled out my phone to check how I looked as I was about to pull up to the restaurant.

My slicked back, straightened ponytail, and red makeup went well together. Izuku liked to call it the 'Ariana grande' ponytail.

I liked it because it worked no matter the hair style, it looked good on all of the dancers, even the ones with really short hair who had to wear wigs to match.

I tipped the driver and walked into the restaurant, my eyes searching for a familiar group.

The anticipation was exhilarating and exhausting. I hadn't felt this way since high school.

When I found the table, my eyes found familiar deep red ones, almost immediately. It felt like a bubble of air got caught in my throat.

I walked slowly to the table, and sat in the only empty seat, right in the middle of sero and katsuki. Izuku.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late." I chuckled, my voice a bit raspy. I couldn't breathe fully in this position. I felt the gaze of both sero and katsuki on me, though my eyes stared into Izuku's with a large glare that contrasted his large smirk.

"What! I gave you the most comfortable seat!" He whisper yelled across the table like Katsuki and Sero went deaf.

"Asshole!" I returned, getting a chuckle out of sero.

"You look Beautiful." Sero smiled into my eyes, and quickly placed his arm on the back of my chair.

I looked at it uncomfortably, and then towards Katsuki who stared at sero with a monotone expression.

"Thank you." I smiled and opened the menu, straight to the drink menu. Vodka sounds great right now.

"She does look good huh?" Katsuki mimicked toward sero, his back pushed against the wall, and his glass of bourbon at his lips. His words stuck to my skin like glue on paper, making me hot.

While the compliment from Katsuki made my heart race, I couldn't help feeling uncomfortable being sandwiched between Katsuki and Sero.

"Can I get you something to drink honey?" The waiter came and asked me, as everyone else had already gotten a drink due to my late arrival.

I glanced at Sero's arm still sitting on my chair, and then to Katsuki's knee—which ever so slightly touched my thigh. Sero's and Katsukis scent mixed around me to create one big storm of awkwardness.

"Vodka soda, please...with an extra shot on the side.." I whispered the last part with wide eyes, and swallowed a big.

She chuckled at me and wrote down my order with a nod, "You got it!"

"Extra shot?" Sero asked, and rubbed my shoulder a bit, "You okay?" He smiled and looked down to my lips.

Kill me now.

"Yup! Just helps with pre-show jitters!" I smiled and looked back toward my menu, wanting to get out of this predicament as quickly as possible.

I caught Katsuki's gaze out of the corner of my eye, and turned to him slowly. He grinned at me, and looked toward sero.

'You okay?' He mouthed with a mocking frown, making fun of Sero. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit and shake my head.

He grinned a bit and continued to look at me as I returned back to the menu, going over the options.
